The Brothers Grimm rediscovered a host of fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, -witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds.
This selection of their folk tales was made and translated by Lucy Crane, and includes firm favourites such as Rapunzel, The Goose Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White.
It is illustrated throughout by Walter Crane's charming line drawings.
